It feels soft to the touch when it's dry, but once you wet it, it becomes even softer. This is by far the softest makeup sponge that I've ever tried (I didn't tried the famous beauty blender yet). 

When you wet it, it increases in size by almost half of the whole size. Material is ultra soft and the texture is even all through the sponge. It has very tiny holes. 

It blends foundation with ease, but it does soaks up a bit of it. I think it also depends on foundation. Water based and lightweight foundations will automatically soak more into the sponge. Sponges usually give you more natural finishes and the application is lighter which also results in a lighter coverage. The heavier and more pigmented foundation you have, the better coverage you get. But I feel like with this sponge, you can get very light coverage, if you wet it more. 

I also wanted to show you my new pedestal for makeup sponges. I've seen these on Aliexpress, but I bought mine in Kik. It's a standard egg holder and it prevents your makeup sponge to roll off of your table or pick up any unwanted dirt. It's so lovely to store the sponge in, when I'm not using it. This way I also always know where to look for it. 

Texture feels a bit wet to the touch. Pigmentation is nice, but it's a bit sheerer in finish. I actually really like that transparency. It almost lets your skin see through and looks really natural. Obviously you can build it up as much as you want. It's very finely milled and you almost can't detect shimmer, because it's so small. It gives the blush more of a sheen opposed to actual shimmer shine.

It applies lovely on the skin with almost no fallout. On me it lasts the whole day.

I am loving this shade for the fall, especially pairing it with pink, red and berry lipsticks. I like that it's essentially pink, but still has that warm brown undertone that just seems to work with my warm skin tone. 

I swatches all of my H&M blushes next to each other for reference. Brown Sugar is the second lightest and is very much warm like brown. Apricot is the most powdery of these all and the lightest shade. It has that typical baby peach color. Rosy Brown is the darkest of these all and the most pink one, but still withing a warm family.

I can't recommend these blushes enough. If you like your blushes to look very natural with a satin finish, are buildable, last all day and have good variety of shades, than I'm sure you'll love these. I love all three shades that I got so far and will maybe even buy some more, if I have a chance to or feel the need.

I already had some bronzer around the ear area, when I was applying the blush. Blush is more on tops of my cheeks.

Avon Senses Joyful Tropics Papaya & Peach Shower Gel

In summer time I love to resort to summery smells with all my products. Shower gels are the easiest way to add some tropical scent to your bathroom. I love this one, as you can see, because I've almost used it up. The smell is very sweet, fruity and tropical. I wouldn't say it smells like peach and I don't know how papaya smells, but it's definitely fruity. It's yellow cream that doesn't dry out my skin. My skin is also a lot less sensitive in summer and I haven't gotten any red patches after showering with this one.

Garnier Olia Conditioner

Well this is a random product in my favorites. As you may notice, I color my hair and I always use Garnier Olia hair colors. With the box also comes this conditioner. Since I use more hair colors at once, I have a lot of these conditioners laying around my bathroom. It's probably the best drugstore conditioner that you can get. I think these are sold separately too, but in a tube version. If you have a chance definitely try one. It makes my hair really soft, nourished and healthy looking. It's thicker consistency cream and it has a very hair salon scent to it. The only thing I don't get is why don't they just make this kind of conditioner in their regular range?! Those conditioners that come with hair colors are always so much better, because frankly, they need to make your hair look extra good after you attack them with chemical of hair color.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Ultra-light Non-perfumed Fluid

My favorite face sunscreen and one that I always go back to. It has light liquid creamy consistency that doesn't leave white trace all over your face. It soaks in pretty quickly and leaves behind slightly luminous finish. It doesn't have any perfume, but I can definitely smell some heavy alcohol in the beginning. It doesn't irritate my skin and it never breaks me out. That's why I keep coming back to it.

L'Oreal Infallible 24h-Matte Mattifying Infallible Foundation 

I was not a fan of this foundation. It seemed really matte at first. In these really hot summer days I needed something more mattifying and I came back to it. It's true that it covers well and I like that the pores look a bit more diminished, especially in this heat. However, I still hate L'Oreal foundation shades. This one is too dark for me (still) and I hate it's orange undertone. I mix it with Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation to make it a bit more yellow and lighter. Sometimes I might even add some of Missha Perfect Cover B.B. Cream. I like it in combination with other foundations and the thing that I like the most is matte finish and slightly blurred skin effect.

Catrice LE Sound of Silence Fluid Glow C01 Golden Spirit

I use this with pretty much everything. Lately especially with my foundation. If I said before that I mix together three foundations, I also add this in for a bit more luminous look. Just a small drop can make the skin look a bit more natural and not as dead matte. I think this is one of the best Catrice products and as such should absolutely be in their regular range. Why not even add it to some of foundation formulations? Just a suggestion.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

I got this as a gift from Sandra and I immediately fell in love with it. It's not necessary product, but once you have it, you just find the time to use it. I like that it has gorgeous bronzed golden shimmer in it and it seems like it's a bit tinted, which means it also adds just a small tint of color. I love to apply this on my arms and legs, if I wear a dress. It also smells so good, nutty and a bit oriental. I might even start putting it in my hair. 

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher Apricot

Gorgeous satin finish and beautiful apricot shade that almost has a bit of pink in it. It looks great with pretty much all my makeup looks and I've been wearing it a lot this month. I just adore H&M blushes. Since getting this one, I also got another one Rosy Brown. I love that they have wide range of really light shades and that they are not your typical bright corals and pinks.

Golden Rose Silky Touch Pearl Eyeshadow 121

Golden Rose impressed me with affordable precise. I already bought their nail polishes and really liked wide range of shades. Now I wanted to try some of their eyeshadows. The range is not as huge, but they have some nice shades. This one 121 is one of the best bronzed brown shades with warm golden sheen to it. It's not just the shade, it has great pigmentation and very silky formula. I am really impressed. Shame I didn't get more shades. 

Clio Kill Black Waterproof Brush Liner

Another amazing Asian brand brush liner. It has good black color, dries fairy fast and doesn't move through the day. I love the precision of a brush applicator, because you can really make a sharp line. It's just really nice and I have nothing bad to say about it.

Who would have thought that I would have not one, but three blue nail polishes featured in my favorites. I always say I'm not a fan of blue, but it seems I just haven't used the right blues before.

Avon Magic Effects Neon Electric Blue Nail Polish

Amazing vibrant true electric blue shade that looks bright and perfect for summer. It has lots of small blue shimmer that makes it extra sparkly. 

Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Polish Minty

This one is a perfect mix of pastel blue and pastel green, which means I would call it perfect mint shade. It looks really pretty on the nails and is definitely a crowd pleaser.

Kiko Nail Lacquer 530 Pearly Blue Peacock

When I saw it in the store, I was mesmerized. It look so pretty in the bottle and it actually translates the same on nails. This is seriously a true peacock shade. It looks dark blue and has lots of shimmer which gives it greenish gold sheen. It reflects light beautifully and looks really unique. 

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Athens

These are the only matte liquid lipsticks that I can wear without the fear of getting super dry lips the next day. It's almost mousse like consistency and the shade is my perfect peachy nude. It's actually the lightest liquid lipstick that I own and goes with pretty much every standard warm look. 

Avon Shine Burst Sticks - Iced Mocha, Nude Shine and Rose

I've been testing these this month and those three shades became my most used. Iced Mocha is my all time favorite shade of this collection. It's perfect mauve brown shade that looks good on pretty much everybody. Nude Shine is my kind of brown lip gloss with silver shimmer. It looks really juicy and a bit more natural. Rose is perfect muted pink that goes with so many different makeup looks. I adore this shade almost as much as Iced Mocha, but Iced Mocha is a bit more versatile. 

Lysaskin Laboratories Atolys Cleansing and Relipidifying Gel

On SummerMBeauty event we got some personalized products according to our skin description. I got this cleansing gel which is for dry skin and skin with atopic tendencies. I still have occasional problems with my skin allergy and products that are targeted toward sensitive skin usually work great with my skin. This is clear gel which feels super gentle on the skin. It creates gentle foam and washes the face without stripping it of its natural moisture. It has seriously impressed me and I will definitely do a separate review on it. In Slovenia you can get it here. 

Plantae Rose Hip Fruit + Seed Serum

Rose hip oils is probably one of the best widely used oils. It's pretty much good for all skins. It has various benefits and is great for dry skin, aging skin and perfect for treating damaged skin or getting rid of hyper pigmentation. My first rose hip oil was from Kahne. Initially, I thought that this was going to be serum, so lighter and not oily, but it's actually thinned out, a bit more liquid version of pure rose hip oil. I use this at night and my skin in the morning is well moisturized, smooth and just looks healthy. This is perfect for summer, since we tend to get a lot of sun spots or for treating sun burns as well. Full review of this will be on my blog soon. In Slovenia you can get it here. 

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher - Apricot

H&M blushes have really impressed me with their quality and especially shade range. I already have Brown Sugar which is brownish peach shade. Apricot was on sale and of course I couldn't resist it after reading about it on Kvinatopia. Apricot is light peachy almost a bit pinky warm shade. It's lighter and a lot peachier than Brown Sugar. This one, as well, has that beautiful satin finish to it. I think I definitely need more of their shades. I love how most of their shades seem kind of muted, light and not typically bright as most blushes in drugstores.

Avon Glow  Bronzing Pearls - Pink Bronze

I already have a review of these here. They are light peach shimmery pearls that I've been loving as a blush. It gives a nice luminous finish and is light enough to make your skin look slightly glowy and almost a bit bronzed, if you're light like me. This is the type of product that you can put all over the skin when you're in a hurry and it would instantly give you some dimension and glow.

Maybelline Master Contour V-Shape Duo Stick Contour & Highlight - 01 Light

Finding shimmery stick bronzer and highlighter is not as hard as finding matte stick contour that is affordable. Especially in our drugstores, I find that the offer on these is very limited. I was so happy to see the lightest shade in our store (finally something light!). It's easier to use than it looks. You put one side against your cheeks and draw and then you turn it around and draw the other shade. This blend out like a dream, isn't too greasy and the shades are actually light enough for fair skin tones. I don't care much about highlight, but the contour is great. I will also do a full review on it.

Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad - Sun Washed Blooms

Shade 3 in particular, is the one that I'm mentioning here. It's one of the prettiest matte fuchsia shades that I've seen in a while. I feel like Avon stepped up their game with matte eye shadows and they are more pigmented than in some previous quads. I really like this shade, because I love purple eye shadows. Most of them are usually cool toned, very blue based and this one is a nice exception. Review of this palette will come soon.

Avon Glow Kajalstick - Warm Sand

I've already talked about these kajalstick here. Shade Warm Sand has the best inner corner highlight shade for my personal taste. It's light peach shade with lost of shimmer in it. I've been using this a lot this month. Black matte on the other side is just as good and I've been doing my eyeliner with pens a lot. For some reason, I can't be bother with full on liquid liner in summer months. Maybe because it can look really harsh and I prefer pens for a more natural look.

Belweder Lip Balm Stick - Melissa, Green Tea, Propolis

A few days ago I posted about these natural Belweder lip balms and the green tea scent was definitely my favorite. In the regular stick form that is, because I found it to be a bit more nourishing than other egg like versions. As you can see, I've almost used it up. The scent is just such a nice refreshment from all those usual sweet fruity scents and I really like the formula for daily hydration, especially in summer months. It's not too greasy, but not too light.

Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss - Rose Reflection

Avon recently came out with four lip gloss shades that have shimmery particles in it. I admit, I was intrigued looking at them in the catalog, because some seemed really metallic. The shades actually look very different in real life and I'll probably post a full review of them. Shade Rose Reflection impressed me the most and that is because it has the most golden sheen out of all other shades. The base is transparent pink, but shimmer in it is gold. I've been loving putting this one over lip stains or light lipsticks for added shine and especially warmth of golden shimmer. You can see me wearing it over mauve lipstick here. In the summer I always love a good shiny lip. Mattes can sometimes look too overdone in hot summery days. 

Ebelin Professional Precision Make Up Blender

I didn't even know that Ebelin came out with another, better makeup sponge version. I saw how soft it was on Maestraparokeets Instagram and decided to try it out. It's in fact miles away from their other versions that I talked about here. This one is a lot softer and it blends like a dream. I also find that it cleans up better than the other version. Don't really understand why they decided to glue together three different foam colors in one blender, but fine. I just hope that it will last and won't get too damaged because of its softness.

Avon Makeup Setting Spray

I've been using this like there's no tomorrow. In Slovenia the weather this month has been proper summer. It's hot and my makeup is always luminous and dewy, whether I want it or not. This setting spray is the only thing that keeps my makeup from running off of my face. It definitely helps to prolong the wear of makeup. I think I must be spraying too much of it on my face, because it definitely feels like a heavier layer and it even tightens my skin a bit. But you know, better safe than sorry.

Avon Little Black Dress Eau Fraiche and Avon Little Red Dress

My fragrance choice for this month are those two Avon Little Dress versions. Little Black Dress Eau Fraiche is for really hot days, since it's a slight bit fresher and greener, but still very much in my sweet family. On those not super hot days, I've been loving Little Red Dress, because it's a lot sweeter and fruitier. I really like these and they are not too strong for the summer, well at least if you're sweet kind of lover like me. I already wrote review of them here. 

Innisfree Smart Foundation Perfect Cover - 13 Light Beige

This is in my favorites purely because of the shade. It's very light, actually the lightest foundation shade that I own and since I'm even paler now than I am in summer, this almost matches me perfectly. I always use too dark foundations and have to blend them down my neck, because non of them in the drugstores are light enough. This one is actually light enough, although I am not crazy about the coverage. I expected it to be full coverage, but it's very light medium. It's also a bit obvious on the skin. I'll talk more about it in a separate review.

theBalm Nude'tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette

I've been testing this and I already have my favorite shades. Review of this will be up soon, but until then I'll tell you that my absolute favorite shade is Seductive - very warm almost yellow toned light brown. I also really like Sultry - perfect warm matte brown for the crease and Sexy - matte purple burgundy shade. Eye shadows are really pigmented and they blend with ease. I'm not sure that they are as long lasting as Zoeva Cocoa Blend shades, but I'll have to test it a bit more to make up my mind completely. It's not my usual shade selection, because there is a lot of cooler shades, but the ones that I like are really pretty. 

Ebelin Precision Eye Brush

This is a very dense pointed brush with great precision. I use this around my lower lash line to darken it a bit. I like that I can apply it very closely to the lash line and no where else. It's also perfect for blending out pencils.

Essence Smokey Eye Brush

Another great brush for smoking out the eye shadow or pencils. It's a lot winder but almost shaped like a ball. It creates a soft haze around the lower lash line and I like that it pulls it a bit down. I've been really enjoying this.

Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner - Black

I don't believe I've mentioned this before, but this is my favorite liner in a pencil form. It's super soft and it almost melts onto the skin, that's why it's called gel eyeliner. I love to use this when I want a softer line. I apply it straight from the pen and then just blend it with the brush. It's very easy to blend and once it sets it doesn't move. If you have very oily lids, you'll need to set it with an eye shadow. 

Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara - 01 blondy brows

My brows have been getting bald spots, which they always do in spring and fall for some reason. So I need all the help I can get. I started using this brow gel mascara to make them look fuller. I use this first, then apply brow pencil and then go back in with this to shape them and set them. It's a great base, because it makes pencil stick on better. I also like the super mini brush, although it does have too much product on, so I always wipe it off a bit.

Essence Eyeshadow 15 hazle me not!

While I was browsing through new Essence products I also got a look at their matte eye shadows in hope of finding another great contouring shade. I've been loving this 15 hazle me not! to contour my face with. It's a lot lighter than Essence I Heart Nude in 05 My Favorite Tauping. This is for someone very fair and I am pretty fair in this time of year. It means I don't have to think about it, I can just apply it and really can't overdue it. It's a great grey based shade, although it has a tiny bit of sheen to it. I've been loving this, since I went lighter with my foundation. It gives me the most natural unnoticeable contour. I'll have a separate review. 

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher - Brown Sugar

I can't say how much I love this blush. It's the most neutral matte blush that I own. It's brownish peach and I've been pairing it with my usual neutral brownish makeup. I love this, because it's not flat out matte, but still has some sheen. 

theBalm Hot Mama Blush/Shadow

Since I've been experimenting with bold bright lipsticks this month, I've also been loving this blush. It's coral, has a pink base with a very gold sheen and looks so pretty bright paired with bright lipsticks. It's my go to for glowy cheeks and  colorful lips. I'll post a review of it soon. 

Avon True Colour Perfectly Matte Lipsticks (Marvelous Mocha and Ideal Lilac)

Whole matte range by Avon is just amazing. I've finally tested it a bit more since my lips have been in better shape this month. I've already mentioned my favorite shades in my review, but the two shades that have been outstanding this month are Marvelous Mocha, which is a lovely warm medium brown and Ideal Lilac, which is a crazy bright fuchsia shade. One is for my neutral looks and one for when I want something bold and colorful. 

Maybelline Color Show The Blushed Nudes - 447 Dusty Rose

Boy am I in love with this shade. Every time I paint my nails, I want to use this one. It's just such a pretty pastel lavender pink shade and perfect for the spring. It also lasts on me well. I have a review here. 

L'Occitane Folie Florale Petal-Soft Body Milk

I've already reviewed this. It's a lightly moisturizing body milk with a unique sweet fruity floral scent. I love the gentle spring scent of it and shea butter moisturizing layer that it creates on the skin. This is definitely a spring treat and I'm actually saving it for some warmer days so that I can smell it on me while wearing t-shirts. 

Avon Mesmerize Eau de Toilette

My absolute favorite scent of this month. It hasn't been as warm as I would have liked it, so I think I was gravitating more towards sweet fruity scents like this one. I adore the peach scent of it and later long lasting effect of sandalwood. It's the perfect sweet spring scent. I also love the bottle, because it's so easy to carry around. You'll find a review of it here.
